Programme Details

Otherwise is a magazine programme that looks at what women are up to right around the country - and sometimes the world. It's serious when it needs to be, light hearted when it wants to be and, just like a woman, it has an interest in finding out all sorts of things about all sorts of people. Some of our guests are high-flyers, others have the sorts of everyday stories we can all relate to - emotional, inspirational, challenging or cheering. It's mainly a woman’s thing - life from the perspective of 52% of the population - but we're open to input from the other gender, where it's relevant. In fact we're very open: open minded and, according to the dictionary, 'just a little bit different or of an unexpected nature' - that's OTHERWISE.
